Adult Martial Arts

18+

Our Mission is to help you raise a confident, focused leader with the life transforming experience that is Martial Arts, while we adults train to get in the best shape of our lives.

Hi, my name is Master George "Sky" Matejovsky and I am the owner of Sky Centers Martial Arts. When I was a child, I began my martial arts journey and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It was always my dream to someday own my own school. I taught at my instructors school for over 10 years, so and when I opened Sky Centers in 1994, I made a commitment to our community in Lombard to create an enjoyable environment for students to improve their fitness while building confidence they can carry into their everyday lives.

Our children's martial arts program creates leaders. We do this by teaching the same values you teach at home. Our adult program is second to none. From a multi disciplined martial arts system to more modern self-defense styles, there is something for everyone at Sky Centers. If you are looking to burn major calories, learn self-defense moves and get in the best shape of your life, you must come and check out our program.

Imagine yourself or your child as a stronger, more confident individual in your best physical and mental shape. I want to personally invite you to take advantage of our introductory trial offer and turn that vision into a reality. See you on the mat!

Junior Beginner Classes

Besides from making children fit and teaching them cool self-defense moves, it also teaches the life skills your child needs like confidence, leadership and self control. Our martial arts classes foster respect in all senses of the word. Your children will learn not only to respect others, but to respect themselves as well.

We have been with Sky Centers for a few months now. They havent disappointed yet! They have taught my son a lot in this short time and have also taught me a lot. I love that my son has so many great role models hes surrounded by just being there. Sensei Mike and Instuctor Chris are great with the kids. Fun but firm. To me thats the perfect mix for martial arts training! Thank you guys for what you do and I cant wait for my daughter and myself to join the family!

I wanted to let you know of a situation that my daughter handled at school this week. She was having an issue with a classmate over a library book (the student accused her of taking it out of the school library without permission, when it had come from Helen Plum.) The teacher handled the situation, but a few hours later as they were packing up to leave for the day, the other student put her hands around my daughter's neck from behind and squeezed, telling her "don't you do that to me again." She assertively told her to stop, then went to tell the teacher. By the time she was able to discuss it, the bell had rang and the kids had been dismissed from school. Her teacher was upset about it, and promised to discuss it with the other girl the next day.

My daughter asked me after school if she could be involved in the discussion with the teacher and the other girl, to share her feelings and see why the girl did what she did. I told her that would be fine, and the teacher was open to that as well. The following day, my daughter confidently discussed the situation with her teacher and her classmate, explaining that she didn't want her to act in a physical manner again, and described 2 other situations where she had been the target of an aggressive peer and how it made her feel. The classmate apologized, the teacher set forth her expectations, and they moved on.

At curriculum night tonight, her teacher made a point to tell me and my husband that she was very proud of how maturely our daughter handled the situation, how confidently she expressed herself, and how impressed she was that my daughter wanted to be part of the solution vs just "telling" on the student. While most of this was my daughter and her personality, I know a huge portion of her confidence and her ability to problem solve comes from martial arts. I told the teacher that, and she was unfamiliar with the program (maybe a topic for another day!) but was thrilled that something like this exists.

So... that's my roundabout way of saying THANK YOU for helping instill confidence and leadership abilities in my child(ren). I was proud of her for taking such initiative to be part of a difficult discussion, and in her ability to handle it in such a way that she was undeterred to go back to the same class as the other student. I know all of your instrcutors have played a role in what type of person she has become, and that role is invaluable.

"Since Jonathan has started tis program he has improved his listening skills, following dorections(multi step directions) and his patience. Jonathan has always been physically advanced and has often been the kid to teach others physical activities. As parents, it is interesting to see the skills he is learning by folloeing the leaders who are more advanced. We feel he is doing well taking direction from his peers, which is really important for him at this age since we often struglle with him thinking he knows everything. We look forward to his continuing growth."

"I feel like I've improved not only physically but mentally. My kicks have been higher and my punches stronger and I've learned a lot. Kindness, respect and honesty are important traits in life and are important to have. Without them, you wouldn't be who you are. Two things I'd like to improve are my stances and form."
